A post office was established here on March 1, 1890. The town was named for Samuel H. Davis, prominent early resident and merchant. The town was originally going to be named Chigley, after Nelson Chigley, a Chickasaw on whose land the townsite was located. However, "Chigley" was already an Indian Territory town designation.
Davis successfully petitioned for a Santa Fe depot to be constructed near his establishment. Davis owes its existence to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.

By 1900, the town of Davis had 57 businesses, and a population of 1346. Davis was at the heart of one of the best cotton producing areas in Oklahoma.

Davis is the home of Turner Falls Park, which the residents voted to purchase for $21,000 in 1925. Located in the Arbuckle Mountains, Turner Falls is a popular resort area today.

Oklahoma's "Initial Point," from which all of Oklahoma except the Panhandle was surveyed, and Fort Arbuckle are about 8 miles west of Davis. The Initial Point (NR 70000533) and the Davis Santa Fe Depot (NR 94001507) are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
